I think it is incorrect to link the afghan and yomut carpets - they are different and are applicable to two separate cultures.

Many Thanks

[edit] afghan or turcoman?

i support not to merge... it is very funny to merge afhgan and yomut carpet... because.. in the description of afghan carpet:
Afghan carpets are beautiful pieces with intricate detailing mainly using designs from Turkoman tribes such as the Ersari, Saryk, Salor, and Tekke.
Yomut is also one of the tribe of turkmen people. yomut (or turkmen) carpet designs are used by afghan carpet.. --Ga1taman 14:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
